How to Draw a Chibi Person

Step 1.

Start off with drawing the basic head shape, guide lines for eyes and the soft triangle shape body. Also draw in circles on the side of the head for the ears. Notice the ear for the boy is bigger than the girl.. this is because there will be bangs and eyelashes on the girls face and I don't want to take away from that so I shrunk her ear a bit. Don't forget to draw the lines for where you want your arms and legs to be!

Step 2.

Now you can draw in the big eyes. The thick eye shape is more of 3/4 of a circle, then draw a thin line for the iris of the eyes and draw in a cute smile while you're at it.

Step 3.

After erasing the eye lines and half of the ear circle (1/4 of the circle for the guy's ear) you can start on the bodies! Go ahead and add some width to those arm lines and legs and make sure they connect to the body. Pretty easy!

Step 4.

Erase the arm/leg lines and the connection of the legs and arms to the torso first. Now you can start drawing the scarf and shirt. You can start by just drawing a thick wrap around the neck. Then draw the hanging part of the scarf coming from the head as if it were tucked in at the top. Then draw the shirts loose and a little bit large so make sure they come off the arms and the body a little.

Step 5.

Erase any extra body parts that would be covered by the shirt, and we can move on to the pants! The girls pants is very simple, just cause them to flair out at the foot and you're done. For the boy, pay close attention to the wrinkles and the bagginess of the pants. These pants would cover the feet so have them extend a little past his feet.

Step 6.

Erase the legs that would be covered by the pants, and lets move on! The bangs for the girl should be fairly long and broken up into pieces. Don't forget to have the hair piece that comes down in front of part of the ear. For the boy, you can create an imperfect jagged line starting at the top of the ear and going all the way up to the center of his head. Then draw a large oval, and continue the jagged down on the other side.

Step 7.

Now for the girl, add what looks like an egg shape hiding behind her head from where her ponytail leaves her head. Then on the opposite side of the head, draw her large curl. For the boy, add in the bang curls and erase the part of the oval that wasn't used. Then you can make choppy hair down on the bottom. Don't make them all even going down or it doesn't look as choppy. Make sure to leave it uneven with some shorter breaks and some longer.

Step 8.

Now for the girl, draw in some eyelashes.. large at the top, tiny at the bottom of the eye. Draw in a -thin- eyebrow and some eyelid lines. For the boy, be sure to draw -thick- eyebrows. This helps separate gender. Draw in eyelid lines and don't forget the ear swirl for the both of them.

Step 9.

Well done! You've drawn a couple of chibi people! You can customize them however you like by adding different clothes and hair, and even make them look just like you! Have fun!
